There is nothing more inspiring than the rich tones of the traditional highland bagpipe, and no instrument more fitting for any event! For the past eight years, Christian Markle has been performing professionally at weddings, funerals, social engagements, birthday parties, parades, and holiday celebrations. As a piper, he prides himself on musical perfection, not only in professional performance but also in regional competition. He has won numerous bagpipe competitions in and around the Southeast, as well as being awarded "Piper of the Day" at the 2014 Charleston Indoor Highland Games and the 2014 Greenville Highland games. You can be assured that hiring Christian Markle means you will have a beautiful tuned, musically masterful musician playing for your event.

He is also flexible to work with anyone's schedule, and is ready to accommodate to changed plans to the best of his ability. He enjoys meeting new people and counts it as a highlight of every gig. Christian Markle's first class bagpipe and contagious personality makes him a "must have" for any event.
